Hi there. Been a while since I've been here... I encountered some issues after buying a new laptop. I set up a dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. Most things work fine in it. Compiz Fusion was easy to set up and is flawless. My internal wireless NIC isn't supported yet, so I used a wireless usb adapter that was. So for the time being I made a separate route around the wireless issue.

However my current issue is my sound. For the life of me, I cannot get my sound to work. I have no idea what to do. I've tried everything in ALSA as well as OSSv4. Either way, I didn't have much luck.

Is there any support or drivers or anything available that I just haven't come across yet? When I search for the sound card in my laptop, whether it's device manager in vista, in ubuntu, or in the pdf that came with the laptop, it all says Realtek High Definition Audio.

I hope somebody here has a clue about what I can do to get this sound to work.
